Due to the collaboration <strong>and</strong> cooperation of the<br />
education partners of <strong>Newfoundl<strong>and</strong></strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Labrador</strong>,<br />
some 700 educators were able to avail of the expertise<br />
of an international renowned expert at a reasonable<br />
cost. Hopefully, the success of the Jensen<br />
Conference will encourage even more collaboration<br />
<strong>and</strong> cooperation in future so that other major conferences<br />
can be organized for the benefit of educators.<br />
If so, we can anticipate that both educators <strong>and</strong> their<br />
students will benefit immeasurably.<br />
During the Jensen Conference, an idea surfaced<br />
encouraging delegates to support the Janeway<br />
Children’s Hospital. As a result of simply placing a<br />
basket at the front of the conference centre, participants<br />
contributed $558.80. This generous donation<br />
was made to Janine Kerrivan, Executive Director<br />
of the Janeway Children’s Hospital Foundation,<br />
on behalf of the Jensen Conference delegates. Ms.<br />
Kerrigan was quite grateful for the Jensen Conference<br />
delegates’ thoughtful initiative <strong>and</strong> support. Well<br />
done colleagues!<br />
